Cron job scheduling on heroku . Please go thru my code below and tell me if there is a solution to this

Question

I am making an appointment system so every time an appointment is booked i want to run a cron job so the code goes as follows

 const Appointment = new appointment({
  p_id: req.user._id,
  d_id: req.params.id,
  date,
  time,
  type,
  relative,
  phoneNo1,
  phoneNo2,
  payment,
});

await Appointment.save();
await checkStatus(req.params.id, Appointment.time, date);

// the above function schedules a cron job res.status(200).json({ status: "success", message: "Appointment placed successfully", Appointment, });

CheckStatus Function is as below

export const checkStatus = async (id, time, date) => {
 if (todayDate === date) {
const job = Cron("*/5 * * * *", async () => {
  const Appointment = await appointment
    .find({
      $and: [
        { d_id: mongoose.Types.ObjectId(id) },
        { date: date },
        { time: time },
        { Status: "incoming" },
      ],
    })
    .populate("p_id d_id", "name email cardCollections.doctorName phoneNumber");
  console.log("Appointment", Appointment);
  console.log("diff", diff);
  if (Appointment.length === 0) {
    job.stop();
  }

  if (diff <= 4 && diff > 3) {
    SendEmail(
      Appointment[0].p_id.email,
      `Reminder to accept appointment 1nd cond at ${now} `,
      "Appointments waiting for you"
    );
  } else if (diff <= 3 && diff > 1) {
    // send sms to doctor
    // SendSms(
    //   Appointment[0].d_id.phoneNumber,
    //   `Reminder to accept appointment 2nd cond at ${now} `
    // );
    SendEmail(
      Appointment[0].p_id.email,
      `Reminder to accept appointment 2nd cond at ${now} `,
      "Appointments waiting for you"
    );
  } else if (diff <= 1) {
    // send sms to doctor
    Appointment.forEach(async (apt) => {
      apt.Status = "dismissed";
      apt.cancellationStatus.reason = `Dismissed by the doctor`;
      apt.cancellationStatus.cancelledAt = Date.now();
      await apt.save();
    });

    SendEmail(
      Appointment[0].p_id.email,
      `All appointment are cancelled `,
      "Cancellation due to no response"
    );
    job.stop();
  }
});

} }

So the code works perfectly during localhost but i cant find a way to do the same in heroku as i m confused how do i send parameters and especially i want to run the code for when a appointment is booked .I tried looking various blogs but all of them they show cron scheduling independently without any params . So basically i want to chedule a cron job (checkStatus) everytime an appointment is booked Can anyone help me with this???
